Cleaned Molybdenum Wire

Molybdenum wire is made of high quality molybdenum material by adopting advanced hot and cold drawing crafts. Molybdenum wire can be used as electrode in linear cutting machine to machine workpieces. There are drawing, forging and polished molybdenum wires.

The following are molybdenum wire classifications and molybdenum wire applications:

1. Pure molybdenum wire: pure molybdenum wire can be used as winding wires, supports, outgoing line, heating element, molybdenum foil, wire-electrode cutting, automobile parts spraying.

2. Lanthanum molybdenum wire: lanthanum molybdenum wire is able to be applied as winding wires, glass sealing parts, molybdenum foil, furnace heating materials, high temperature components of wire-electrode cutting, etc..

3. Yttrium molybdenum wire: yttrium molybdenum wire can be used as support, outgoing line, electron tube, grid electrode, furnace heating materials, and high temperature components.
 

4. Wire cutting special molybdenum wire: wire cutting special molybdenum wire has such advantages as high strength, good discharge performance, high surface smoothness, fast cutting speed and long service life. Wire cutting special molybdenum wire is used for cutting and machining various non-ferrous metals, iron and steel and magnetic materials.

 

How to Produce Molybdenum Wire?

Hello, everyone!

Today, we will discuss with you about how to produce molybdenum wire. Welcome to join us.

As we all know that the molybdenum wire is made from molybdenum rod, but what the details  in the process happened?

Cleaned Molybdenum Wire

1. First, testing molybdenum powder, if the powder is qualified then goes on the next step;

2. Mixing-Molybdenum powder;

3. Sintering-sintered molybdenum rod

4. Rolling-molybdenum rod with higher density than sintered;

5. Annealing;

6. Drawing;

7. Annealing;

8. Second drawing-finer wire than pre-drawing;

9. Finished-reach the required diameter;

For different diameter, the wire may be taken several times of drawings.

Properties of molybdenum wire:
Molybdenum wire is featured by high tensile strength, good discharge property, smooth surface, high cutting speed, long service life and low wire tightening frequency.

Molybdenum Wire

Molybdenum is a metal silvery in color with properties that make it one of the most prized industrial metals. It melts at 4,753 degrees Fahrenheit (2,623 degrees Celsius) — one of the highest melting points of any metal — and has the ability to withstand very high pressure and temperature without softening or expanding much. These properties make molybdenum wire useful in various products, like automotive and aircraft components, electric vacuum devices, light bulbs, heating elements, and high-temperature furnaces. Molybdenum wire can also be used for printer needles and other printer parts. Depending on what the molybdenum wire is to be used for, it can be made from pure molybdenum, from a mix of molybdenum and other materials such as potassium silicate, or from alloys of molybdenum and other metals, for example tungsten.

Molybdenum wire is often used to make parts that provide structural support, even at very high temperatures. For example, it is commonly used for various furnace components, like heating elements, outlets and windings. Its high melting point makes molybdenum wire suitable for specialized, high-temperature furnaces featuring hydrogen or vacuum atmospheres.

Another common use for molybdenum wire is as parts for light bulbs. For example, it can be used in the manufacture of supports for lamp filaments made from tungsten, to make leads for halogen lamp bulbs, and to make electrodes for gas discharge lamps and tubes. This type of wire is also used in the windshields of airplanes, where it functions as a heating element, providing defrosting. Molybdenum wire is also used in the manufacture of electron tubes and power tube grids.

The surface of the wire can either be clean or coated. Coated wire is black in color, because it is covered in oxides and lubricants. The tensile strength of wire is often an important consideration in manufacturing, and also affects the appearance of the wire: the more tensile strength, the less straight the wire is.

Molybdenum wire commonly comes in sizes from 0.001 inches (0.025 mm) in diameter, to 0.25 inches (6.35 mm) in diameter. Its size can be measured either in inches, or in mils, with 1 mil being equal to one thousandth of an inch. For very thin wire, the size is expressed in the form of weight of a certain length of wire, rather than by diameter. Molybdenum is similar in appearance to lead, and even received its name from the Greek word for lead, molybdos, because it was often mistaken for lead in ancient times.

Molybdenum Physical Properties

In its pure form, molybdenum is a silvery-grey metal with a Mohs hardness of 5.5.

It has a melting point of 2,623 °C (4,753 °F) of the naturally occurring elements, only tantalum, osmium, rhenium, tungsten, and carbon have higher melting points. 

Weak oxidation of molybdenum starts at 300 °C. It has one of the lowest coefficients of thermal expansion among commercially used metals.
